Dear Mr Bank Manager …

… it’s me again. I wrote to you in 2007 about an apartment I wanted to buy. You couldn’t help me then but I’ve heard that it is back on the market again. It’s been redecorated and beautifully appointed and it’s just gorgeous and its owner Karen emailed to let me know that if you say yes it could be mine (or some other incredibly lucky person). Here’s what Karen had to say. “Craigston was built in 1927 and this apartment takes up the whole top floor of the building. This was one of the first high rise buildings in Brisbane and was built as a residence for doctors as it is part of the medical precinct in Brisbane. The floors are crow’s ash which is a now rare rainforest wood. I know this will be surprising but I live in this five bedroom apartment alone! I’m spoiled for space but that’s a good thing because there’s room to indulge my passion for collecting antiques.” Please Mr Bank Manager! Please!

I can see a lot of bank managers saying no but I have always loved this truly unique building in my home town. Maybe five of us can band together and have a bedroom each 🙂 Karen you are such a lucky woman!

Honestly, I cleaned for people who lived in this style too many years to be attracted to it. Gorgeous, wonderful, tasteful. Great views, even the access is special. And I’d feel the imaginary weight of a mop & cleaning tray, every day. And my banker would laugh at me, of course.
